While I agree with you, the article did not mention that any unfair advantage was being given to women yet I've seen so many claim this.
Instead it says "the author argues that women are underrepresented in tech not because they face bias and discrimination in the workplace, but because of inherent psychological differences between men and women. "
So instead it just seems to be arguing that there is no disadvantage in what may appear to be unfair.
It also says "Google’s political bias has equated the freedom from offense with psychological safety, but shaming into silence is the antithesis of psychological safety."
That seems super subjective unless the author has some concrete examples. While they may be right, if we policied everything other people said so that any one person would feel comfortable expressing an unpopular opinion... I don't think the author wants to open that can of worms?

- taysic 9y agoAccording to Google "For example, we took action when we saw that women in tech were less likely to self-nominate for promotions." Sounds more like recognizing an imbalance than special promotions
